How to Draw a Sleeping Chimpanzee

Class Description

In this class we will draw a cute sleeping Chimpanzee.

What makes this class extra exciting is that we will draw him using white pencil on black paper.

For this lesson you will need a white WATERCOLOUR pencil (a regular white pencil will also work fine), a black pencil and a sheet of black paper, roughly A4 / Letter size. I am using a sheet of black poster paper from the Dollar store which has been cut to size.

During the lesson you will learn:

1) How to shade using a white pencil
2) How to create depth on a dark surface
3) How to draw hair
4) How to show the wrinkles in the skin
